ROAD WORK AHEAD

Spring has
finally sprung. It's going to be in the upper 60's for the next four days. And
it is a welcome change from all that colder weather we had. But the residual
effects of the harsh winter are still everywhere around us. I'm talking about
potholes. You have to be so careful driving, for fear your car will hit a one, and get damaged. Up in Michigan
gigantic sinkholes are appearing and swallowing cars. The roads are in terrible
shape from the thawing and freezing cycles. Not to mention all the salt used to
melt the snow. And water main breaks haven't helped. Do you have problems with
potholes where you live???

Potholes have appeared every where here this year. I have noticed some road crews out making repairs but a lot is still needed. Every year they seem to get bigger. Avoiding them is sometimes impossible too.

We have our share in Florida and North Carolina, BUT nothing like the Michigan, WI, MI and the Chicago area which in our travels seem to be the worse.We were in Detroit once at the thaw and learned exactly what you have in your blog, the thaw opened up a multitude of sins.

Glad for the warmer temps! I know that is a relief! I would imagine it is going to be a long season for the road workers to fix all the damage from last year's winter! We do have pot holes and the city doesn't fix a lot of them on side streets but more the major routes.

Oh yes, we have so many potholes here. Some of them are terribly bad. They road crews have tried to keep up with them, but it was impossible. Now that it is actually warming up, I don't think many new ones will be cropping up.

We do have potholes, but NOTHING like that!! That's a scary thought!! Please be careful!! I'm glad Spring has finally Sprung for you!! It's been really nice here for a few weeks!! Now, it's just the pollen!! We are supposed to have rain tomorrow. So, that will help a little!
